The Heavens: A Qing, the Yue Girl at the beginning

After getting the horn, Zhao Qing's mind moved slightly, and the clouds above, which had become extremely thin due to the battle, suddenly dispersed under the pressure of a huge furnace.

The red-gold light illuminates all directions, the warm sun energy is everywhere, and the gentle breeze blows gently through the streets and alleys, making the people immersed in it and the students taking refuge feel their spirits restored and uplifted.

This gigantic furnace, still collecting a large amount of exhaust gas, descended from the sky at a speed that seemed slow but was actually very fast. The furnace gradually shrank and condensed, but it vaguely showed an indestructible shape, as if thousands of runes were melted into it, showing its majesty and heaviness.

It tilted slightly and went towards Zhao Qing's direction. The furnace mouth, which was dozens of feet in diameter, was facing the descendant of the divine general, covering the two people and the "dragon" inside. However, after Zhao Qing flashed and passed through the furnace wall, it only suppressed and sealed one of them.

This thing was hiding above us during the battle just now, and no one noticed it? How could it maintain its existence even when it was blocked by the talisman array? Could it be that it was not trapped at all from the beginning to the end?

After observing the current situation, the old master of the Li family was secretly shocked. He knew that the water dragon that he had transformed with most of his true energy had been frozen in the ice, and only a small part of his true energy was left in his body. The Horn of Death was not in his hand, and he was afraid that he would be unable to break such a barrier.

It was difficult to understand why ice and fire could coexist. Instead, the ice in the scorching hot water became more solid. Shocked, he raised his head and looked up at the green-clothed girl who seemed to be in this world and yet outside the heavens and the earth, where the real and the unreal coexisted and everything was one.

Faintly, it felt like the entire sky behind her was of a deep, dark blue color. The more carefully she looked, the closer she seemed to be to the endless, brilliant galaxy, so close that she seemed to be able to hear the whispers of the stars and the heartbeat of the universe.

"Next, I ask and you answer."

Zhao Qing looked at the member of the You Dynasty's surviving clan and said calmly, "Your family lived in seclusion in Qi, disguised as practitioners of the Yin Ghost Qi technique to cover up the signs of Yin Water and Yin Thunder. You should have been law-abiding and avoided disasters. Why were you invited to participate in this attack?"

As the words passed, there seemed to be an invisible pressure falling on the other party's heart, which directly disintegrated his will, constantly refined the thoughts of resistance within him, and made it impossible for him to tell even a single fabricated lie.

When one's cultivation reaches the seventh level of moving mountains, there is already some Taoist charm in his consciousness and his innate true essence. The vital energy law that is involved is equivalent to a small world. The life essence of the practitioner has also undergone a huge transformation, so it is difficult for her to read his memory directly. However, it is still easy to exert some mental suggestion.

"Recently, the sky has changed frequently and the stars have transformed. I have repeatedly measured the stars with several elders in my family and observed the secrets of the sky. We have discovered that the emperor star of the You Dynasty, 'Rahu', seems to be rekindling. We believe that this is a major change that is rare in a thousand years. Perhaps it will usher in an era of 'great unification' again. It is time for heroes to sacrifice their lives to restore the divine power of the Great You Dynasty."

Under Zhao Qing's gaze, the old master of the Li family felt that all his secrets were exposed, even the deepest marks of his soul were seen through. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, and after organizing his words, he told everything:
"Just when I should have been building up my family and clan, Gao Qulu, the Grandmaster of the Prisoner Sect, happened to come to visit me. He also said that the world would undergo a major change, and that the situation of confrontation between the four dynasties would soon be broken. He hoped that we would return to the 'human world', quickly develop our power, and jointly plan a revival plan to restore the glory of the gods..."

"This Gao Qulu's ancestor was also a famous general of the Great You Dynasty. Although he was not among the Eight Divine Generals, he was also quite extraordinary. Hundreds of years after the fall of You, I don't know what means he used to transform himself into a side branch of the Qi royal family. He also established his own clan in Yan through intermarriage."

"He told me that many descendants of the You Dynasty have been operating in Yan Territory for hundreds of years, secretly accumulating enormous power, and even gained the support of Qin Queen Zheng Xiu and Qin Prime Minister Li Si. They are confident that they can seize power in the name of the foreign king, and they will start a rebellion as soon as the Emperor Star is rekindled."

"As the descendants of the God of Death, our Li family should also take the lead. We need to contact clansmen from all over the country as soon as possible and collect the secret treasures of the You Dynasty scattered among the people to enhance our own strength. At the same time, we should also cooperate with their actions to create disputes and stir up trouble among the dynasties..."

"Of course, considering that there might be some trickery, Gao Qulu and the others might just be taking advantage of my strength, Li Changye. For this operation, I just agreed to help them by scouting the battlefield on the sidelines, pretending to be a master of Yin Shen Gui Qi Gong Fa, and dragging Qi Wang Chao into the game to share the responsibility of the attack and killing."

At this point, a trace of anger and unwillingness appeared on his face. He was obviously heartbroken for not being able to complete the task and instead damaging the incarnation of his hard work and the ancestral sacred weapon:
"However, I never expected that their target would be a peerless powerhouse like you, the heir of the Sword Tomb. After the battle, all seven of our masters were left behind, and even Gao Qulu himself died here. The entire plan was ruined."

"It's not a complete failure." Zhao Qing said calmly, "If I hadn't recognized the changes in the Black Water Scripture and your identity, I would have probably included the Yan and Qi dynasties in my next targets for revenge, causing unrest in the world and looking for an opportunity to rebel and rise to power."

The Zheng family already held some inheritances from the You Dynasty, so it was not surprising that Li Si, who was on her side among the two prime ministers Zheng Xiu and Qin Zhi, got in touch with the descendants of the divine general.

In fact, the subsequent rebellion led by Shu Hou of the Yan Dynasty, supported by the border troops, was indeed planned and instigated by him. If the Yan Emperor had not received support from the Qi Dynasty and the old nobles of Changling, it would have almost succeeded.

Judging from the close relationship between the State of Yan and the Youzhou territory, the You Dynasty most likely started from the present-day Yan territory and gradually unified the world, hence the name "You". After the demise of You, it is reasonable that the surviving members of the You Dynasty retreated to their "ancestral land" and endured development.

She nodded slightly, accepting the other party's explanation, and then directly raised a few questions that could shock the world: "Is the Changling Li family the descendant of the Annihilation God General of the You Dynasty? Is Yu Qi, the current border guarding general of the Yan Dynasty, a descendant of the Purgatory God General?"

As far as Zhao Qing knows, two of the eight generals of the You Dynasty both have the surname Li, but they are not related. Apart from this family who are descendants of the general of death, the other family is the general of annihilation. Looking at the situation of Li Si, perhaps they really can match up?
Li Changye couldn't help but show a look of horror when he heard this. These questions obviously involved extremely core secrets, and he was not even completely sure of them. He thought that apart from the descendants of the patrol kings and generals of the You Dynasty, no one else would know about them.

Could it be that the other party not only recognized her identity from the way of cultivation, but also knew more secrets about the inheritance of the descendants of the You Dynasty? Could it be that this was all the information she obtained from the inheritance of the "Sword Tomb" that destroyed the You Dynasty? Could it be that the Sword Tomb, the legendary and most powerful sect, still exists now?

He was thinking a thousand things in his mind, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. After a short silence, he slowly said, "The Changling Li family is one of the four powerful families in Changling in the past. The previous head of the family, Li Buxiang, was almost the highest position in the Qin Dynasty. He was powerful and almost as powerful as the old Qin emperor who was bedridden for many years at that time."

"However, because Prime Minister Li Bu supported the second prince Cheng Jiao and was hostile to the Bashan Sword Field and the first prince Yuan Wu, he was liquidated after his death. Li Si, the illegitimate son of the Li family, was originally a disciple of Han Prime Minister Chen Buhai. Because he promoted reforms in the name of the Li family in Changling, he encountered this disaster and added insult to injury, betraying and destroying the entire Li family."

"Today, almost no one in the Qin Dynasty knows about the existence of the Li family... Of the entire Li family, only Li Si should be left, and as a bastard, he probably didn't get the real core inheritance of the Changling Li family... Even earlier, Li Buxiang was also a bastard in the family, and his cultivation level was not very high."

"So, I'm not sure whether the Changling Li family is the descendant of the Annihilation God General. I just have some vague guesses and suspicions, and I need more evidence. Even if they are indeed a remnant of the You Dynasty, I'm afraid there won't be much information left after Li Si confiscated their property and exterminated their clan."

Zhao Qing nodded. He was not surprised by this result. After hundreds of years of reproduction, the blood ties of these descendants of the You Dynasty had long since faded. The contacts between them were not as close as imagined, and their understanding of each other was also limited.

She pondered for a moment and then asked, "So, what about Yu Qi?"

Li Changye smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Yuqi is one of the most powerful people in the entire Yan Dynasty. Only Yan's madman Li Caitian can claim to be better than him. As one of the most respected generals by the Emperor of Yan, he commands three of the seven border armies of Great Yan and has an extremely large influence."

"However, if my guess is correct, Yu Qi should be the descendant of the Purgatory God General. The true essence technique he practices is the same as that of the former Purgatory. Although it is hidden very deeply, the aura that occasionally leaks out cannot be hidden from us, the descendants of the God Generals."

"In fact, during the You Dynasty, the Gao family was the deputy of the Purgatory God General, assisting the latter in guarding the largest prison in the You Dynasty, the Purgatory Volcano, and watching over the millions of prisoners trapped there... After the fall of the You Dynasty, the continuous revenge of many righteous armies against the Gao family and the Yu family was also the most cruel and persistent."

"It is said that after the long-lasting war, Jianzhong and several other major sects sent experts to hunt them down for hundreds of years. The lineage of the Purgatory God General and the direct lineage of the Gao family were almost wiped out, and only a few side branches escaped. They have since kept their identities secret and have not been involved in worldly affairs."

When Li Changye said this, a trace of reminiscence and emotion flashed in his eyes: "It was also during that catastrophe that my Li family lost contact with the Yu and Gao families. It was not until one or two hundred years ago that I accidentally learned that the descendants of the Gao family had rebuilt the sect in Yandi and passed it down to this day."

"As for the Yu family, it seems to be even more low-key and secretive. There has been no news about them. It was only in recent years that I sensed the familiar aura of Purgatory True Essence near a dormant volcano. After much investigation, I was able to confirm Yu Qi's identity."

"With hundreds of thousands of troops at the border, if you can find an ambitious royal family member to launch a sudden uprising, it is indeed possible to overthrow the current Yan Emperor's rule, but this will not bring any actual benefits to your Li family." Zhao Qing continued to ask: "What rewards did Gao Qulu promise for inviting you out of seclusion this time?"

"Dragon Tomb, the exact location of an ancient dragon tomb!" Li Changye took a deep breath and answered solemnly, "According to Gao Qulu, his faction has discovered a dragon tomb in Chu. It is full of dragon blood grass and its value is inestimable!"

"However, this tomb is now a forbidden area secretly sealed by the Great Chu Royal Family. No outsiders are allowed to enter. Only if this raid is successful, a certain Chu prince they secretly support can break the magic circle guarding outside and transfer the entire dragon tomb to us, the descendants of the You Dynasty, as a reward."

"Back then, the eight great ghost generals all kept a mixed-blood ghost dragon as a mount, and there were countless dragons. Naturally, there were many ways to use dragon remains to refine treasures and assist in cultivation. Dragon blood grass is also a rare and high-grade spiritual medicine that can be used to prepare a variety of rare elixirs."

"According to reliable information, this tomb hidden deep in Yunmengze contains at least tens of thousands of dragon blood grasses. It can be regarded as one of the greatest treasure secrets of the Chu Dynasty... After all, in those famous spiritual medicine mountains, the production of dragon blood grass is extremely small, and the stock will never exceed two or three hundred plants."

Haha, you used my dragon tomb as a reward? Zhao Qing was unhappy, but he was not surprised that the Chu Dynasty had been infiltrated and traitors had come one after another, and even the news and location of the dragon tomb had been leaked.

……

In the past, the most elite armies of the Great You Dynasty had a kind of elixir called "Marching Pill". Although the name of this elixir sounds ordinary, it is of extremely high grade. It was only equipped in large quantities in the direct armies of the Four Patrol Kings and the Eight Divine Generals during the You Dynasty. A large number of extremely rare and precious elixirs were added during its production, and the actual effect was also very terrifying.

Just one pill can quickly replenish more than half of the true essence of a seventh-level master after refining. For practitioners in the fifth and sixth levels, it is an even greater amount. With excess medicinal power, they can arbitrarily perform some extremely energy-consuming secret sword moves and wear down the enemy.

Therefore, in today's era of scarce spiritual medicine, any preserved Youwang Marching Pill, because of its amazing effect in replenishing true essence, is even equivalent to giving a Seventh Realm Grandmaster half an extra life. Such a treasure cannot be purchased even with tens of thousands of taels of gold.

An army that is luxurious enough to take this kind of elixir in bulk can not only quickly replenish the true essence of the practitioners, allowing the practitioners in the army to recover to their peak before the war, but also increase their strength and endurance astonishingly, and even allow them to stay awake for several days in an extremely excited state.

This state allows the main force of the Dayu Dynasty to enter the battlefield completely ahead of the opponent's expectations and launch multiple high-intensity offensives in succession, making the enemy exhausted and eventually collapse.

In the pursuit over the next few days, no enemy troops could escape, and even the remnants were strangled to death, completely eradicating the entire enemy.

After the fall of the Dayu Dynasty, the recipe of this marching pill was lost, but the Great Chu Dynasty successfully discovered one of the main ingredients, which was dragon blood grass.

The effect of dragon blood grass is not as amazing as the marching pill, but it can also stimulate the potential of the human body within a few days, and it also has the effects of improving a little cultivation, stopping bleeding, replenishing blood and detoxifying. Therefore, this dragon blood grass is also an extremely secret for the Great Chu Dynasty, and only known to the royal family.

The outside world has no idea where dragon blood grass comes from, how to cultivate it, or how many there are in the world.

Even Zhao Qing, who was entrusted with an important task by the Emperor of Chu, did not know before this that the secretly cultivated dragon blood grass actually came from a dragon tomb in ancient times. He only knew that these dragon blood grasses would appear in the killing army under Zheng Xiu in the future.

Thinking of this, her face turned slightly cold. She had already begun to think about the betrayal of some people in the Chu Dynasty, and planned to go to the ancient dragon tomb in a few days to see what other secrets were inside besides the dragon blood grass.

Zhao Qing gently stroked the Death Horn in her hand. The faint light on it seemed to respond to her thoughts, flickering slightly, indicating that she had used the method of "Soul Shedding and Sword Seizing" to deeply refine this magical weapon involving the mysteries of the Eight Realms:
"Tell me more about the rekindling of the Emperor Star of the Dark Dynasty, Rahu. What does this change in the stars represent? What do you think? Don't try to fool me with empty words."

"...I'm not sure about astrology, but the Emperor Star is starting to shine, and there are indeed prophecies and announcements in the classics." Li Changye thought for a while and replied:
"I personally think that this may be a sign that the You Emperor has been resurrected, or that the cultivation of the You Emperor's descendants has reached a certain level."

"At least around the suspected tomb of the Emperor You that I know of, many strange phenomena did occur. Thousands of snakes and insects gathered together, and then suddenly died together. The corpses piled up like a mountain, but were completely decomposed by some force within a few hours, leaving no bones behind."

"When their blood was completely absorbed by the tomb, some strange wailing sounds were faintly heard from the mausoleum, as if ghosts were crying, or ancient spells were echoing."

"Also, many of the tomb keepers near the suspected tomb have recently dreamed of the Ghost Emperor wearing divine armor, walking out of the tomb step by step, then flying up and disappearing into the sky. These dreams were so real that the elders looked dazed when they woke up, as if they had really seen a god."

"It is said that about half a month ago, a woman named Zhao Qing suddenly appeared in Changling in Qin. Her cultivation strength is extremely high, and her skills are quite unusual. She is suspected to be the descendant of the God of Severing Consciousness... Most likely, this woman also received similar news and chose to enter the 'human world' to seek opportunities and development."

The General of the Severing Senses is from the Zhao family, so they linked me to him? This is too far-fetched. Someone with ulterior motives must be promoting this intentionally? Zhao Qing was thoughtful and continued to ask:
"One last question. In the past, Wang Jingmeng had inherited the legacy of the You Emperor and even obtained the Nine-Death Silkworm Divine Art. Why didn't you and other descendants of the You Dynasty go looking for him? Instead, why didn't you hide from the world? Even after his death, you didn't try to retrieve the legacy until today?"

Li Changye heard this, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he slowly spoke: "Wang Jingmeng... This person is indeed a legend. The fact that he inherited the legacy of Emperor You is also widely circulated among the descendants of Emperor You. We are both envious and fearful of him."

"But there is another saying that he entered the ruins of a rival sect that participated in the destruction of the You Dynasty, and found some treasures that this sect had looted from the You Dynasty palace. In other words, Wang Jingmeng has the two great inheritances of the You Emperor and this sect."

At this point, Li Changye looked up and took a few glances at Zhao Qing's expression, because the ancient sect that looted a large number of treasures might be the "Sword Tomb", where he believed Zhao Qing was born, so he hesitated for a moment and continued:
"Therefore, considering Wang Jingmeng's personal attitude and the fact that he relied on the power of Bashan Sword Field to work for the Qin Dynasty, we did not act rashly. We only sent people to contact him secretly a few times. We found that only by pretending to be his brothers would we have a chance to get him, so we chose to give up."

"The Nine-Death Silkworm Divine Art is only one of the auxiliary skills of the Nether Emperor. Although it is still better than the Nine Nether Sword Art, the Heart of the Netherworld, the Blood Refining of Heaven's Fate, etc., it is still a long way behind the Ancient Heavenly Dragon Art that he relied on to traverse the universe and wipe out the eight wildernesses."

"In fact, for a very long time, the descendants of the You Dynasty have kept this 'Nine-Death Silkworm' technique, but they have never made any progress in their practice. Instead, many people have died. They even spread it to the outside world for testing, but no one has ever succeeded in practicing it..."

"In the past, it was common among the major dynasties to say that the Nine-Death Silkworm had fallen into Wang Jingmeng's hands, but Wang Jingmeng never revealed the Nine-Death Silkworm... No one could prove that he really had the qualifications to cultivate this magical skill, because he did not have the hidden bloodline of the Nether Emperor in his body. Even if he happened to cultivate it, there would definitely be some defects."

"For practitioners in the 'human world', the Nine-Death Silkworm is a legendary invincible martial art, and Wang Jingmeng is the invincible person..."

“But in the eyes of cultivators like you and me who possess the top heritage of ancient times, he is nothing special. Not to mention compared with the Nether Emperor who almost achieved the Ninth Realm of Immortality, even the ancestor of the Gao family, the deputy of the Purgatory God General, may not be able to defeat him.”

“It’s hard to say whether I can defeat the former generals, but it is definitely more than enough to kill you, a top-grade seventh-level warrior, with one sword.” Zhao Qing frowned, thinking that it turned out that among the descendants of the You Dynasty, there was a backup of the Nine-Death Silkworm Magic, but it was unknown whether it still existed.

It sounds like the You Emperor's skills require the You Emperor's bloodline to fully exert its effectiveness? Where does this special bloodline come from? Is it related to the Great Dao Divine Mark? Is there a way to make up for Ding Ning's "defect"?

No matter what, the Nine-Death Silkworm is the key for the Nether Emperor to be reborn and try to break through the Ninth Realm. It is by no means as simple as the so-called "auxiliary practice" method, and may not be inferior to his main practice.

She pondered secretly in her mind, considering whether she could excavate a few suspected tombs of Emperor You, observe and test the flesh and blood buried therein, and see if she could transplant or clone some of them, hoping that there would not be only the Tai Sui glue block left in the coffin.

Knowing that most of the descendants of the You Dynasty did not have the Eight Realms left, Li Changye felt that he would not be defeated by Wang Jingmeng in one move, but after all, he could not find anyone who could defeat the opponent, so he did not refute, but continued:
"In recent days, there have been reports that the descendants of the Nine-Death Silkworm have appeared in the Changling Mausoleum of the Qin Dynasty... Perhaps, it corresponds to the omen of the changes in the stars. Perhaps it is a genuine descendant of the Emperor You, who will lead my subordinates to rise again and rebuild the Great You."

Feeling that the information was becoming increasingly inefficient and useless, Zhao Qing did not continue to communicate with this person. He just waved his hand, allowing the huge furnace and the people and dragons inside it to fly up and down on their own to a tower more than 20 feet high in the distance.

A defeated, captured and imprisoned master was hung in a prominent position in the city of Yingdu as a display of the results of the battle, in order to deter those who had ulterior motives.

Then, her figure flashed a few times and appeared on the outskirts of the Chu Palace. As her mind moved slightly, a faint sword intent descended from the sky and swept across the Golden Palace where a major assassination case was taking place.

The sword light suddenly rose up, whirling like the wind, and in an instant it passed through every corner of the hall, splitting into thousands of tiny and long sword beams, which naturally attached themselves to many officials who were in danger and about to be injured by the aftermath of the battle, weaving into pieces of shining armor.

Not only are these sword-weaving garments extremely tough and look no different from real metal armor, they also contain the mysteries of the changing of times, which can divert and disperse external attacks, and be borne by all the billions of sword threads in the hall.

They were even like runes engraved on the body of a magical weapon, instantly forming flowing reinforcement, defense, and force-unloading rune arrays on everyone's body surface, temporarily and greatly strengthening the bodies of the protected people, allowing those with no cultivation to withstand the high-frequency vibrations during force unloading.

"After asking these questions, the time is just right... In view of the precedent of Taoist Ku Yu who is pedantic and conservative and poisoned by feudal ideas, the next strategy can be modified and optimized a little."

Zhao Qing walked forward confidently, and she felt that the surrounding palaces were rapidly stretching and disappearing backwards with her movements. Some partitioning restrictions had just appeared, but before they could be activated, they were thrown far away, as if the earth was shrinking into an inch and space was traveling.

It was at this time that she once again summoned the vast sword realm that had initially digested the high-quality sword grass cultivated by several attacking masters. It seemed to have become more solid, and her divine will evolved into a series of new sword scriptures that she had improvised, and implanted them into the sword domain.

The next moment, all those who dared to break the rules within the Chu Palace, including the prince who had harbored malicious intent, the assassination master who was fighting against the Fengming formation on the field, and the offending official who fled from the palace, suddenly felt a sharp pain in their heads, as if something was stuffed into their heads.
